Underwood is ready to talk about her health journey.
The Talk co-host revealed she has lost 90 pounds, opening up about the doctor's visit that inspired her to change her lifestyle.

You have to go through the dietician," Underwood explained. "But because I worked with the dietician, I lost weight. I didn't lose a significant amount, but I lost to a point where the insurance was not going to pay for it."
Underwood credited Wegovy, an injection she took weekly to suppress her appetite that was given to her by her doctor, as well as "getting more sleep, "drinking more water" and adding fiber to her diet for her weight loss.

With family and friends to support him, yesterday was the first step in his journey."
This Yellowjacket just switched up her look.

Before the awards show, Thatcher had been sporting a copper pixie cut.
